On Sunday I joined some bike friends from Peoples Bike for some warm weather fun at a slip and slide. The twist was the bungee attached to the waist, so a full tilt run down the length of the plastic sheeting would result in a momentary pause at full tension before a spastic launch backwards down the length of the slick sheeting into the grass and mud at the start. It was messy, fun, and a bit bruising.

The set up was on a grassy corner in view of an intersection and sidewalk. A crowd of locals progressively grew throughout the day, until we were encircled by well over a hundred. We even got some local Chinese in on it, much to their obvious joy.

ReplyDeleteditto, and i got a bungee!!
ReplyDeleteyeah, this would be a crazy way to put your bungee to work. you'd need a quarter mile of sheeting with the stretch on that thing.
